Crime Rate by Postcode: UK Crime Checker
Enter a postcode for the latest published month of street-level crime within about a mile of its map point, by category — burglary, vehicle crime, anti-social behaviour and more — from official police.uk data (England, Wales and Northern Ireland; Police Scotland does not publish to police.uk). The Complete report counts 24 months, adds the neighbourhood deprivation domain and schools, and screens the hazards for the address.
This check runs on screen, no signup. The full property report is £9.99 Lite / £24.99 Complete — one report, one price, no subscription.
Frequently asked questions
HouseCheckup uses two official sources: police.uk street-level crime data (updated monthly, covering all 43 police forces in England and Wales) and the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) crime domain, which ranks every neighbourhood in England by crime severity. Together these give both current crime data and long-term patterns.
Yes. Research from the ONS shows that areas with lower crime rates command property price premiums of 5–15%. Burglary and anti-social behaviour have the strongest negative effect on property values. HouseCheckup's IQ Score factors crime into the overall property assessment.
Police.uk crime data is published monthly with a two-month delay. HouseCheckup always shows the latest available data. The IMD crime domain is updated periodically by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.
